While everyone else at the Wachovia Cycling Series- Lancaster race was asking questions about race tactics, I was taking photos of Davitamon-Lotto rider Fred Rodriguez's bike. It's not every day that I get to look at:

• a Ridley Damocles "Fast Freddie" Frame and Fork,
• a Cateye Micro Wireless computer,
• Campagnolo Bora carbon wheels,
• a Campagnolo Record gruppo, and
• Crank Brothers Quattro Pedals

...for as long as I want.

It would be a big loss for the cycling world if Fred didn't defend his U.S. Pro Championship this weekend in Philadelphia: this bike really sweet bike would become an endangered species.

This is one bike I would consider riding as an alternative to a Trek Madone if price (and talent) was no object. How could you say no to the Stars-and-Stripes? This is a bike that Mario Cipollini could love.

There are 19 big photos of his bike. I identified everything I could. The rest is up to you.
